AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing container heat treatment equipment consumes a lot of electrical and thermal energy from the spray device in standby or ready-to-operate mode, resulting in unnecessary energy waste.

Method used

By setting temperature sensors and control devices, the pump's operating status is controlled. In standby mode, the pump is not running or operates at a reduced rated power, reducing the media distribution of the spray device. Combined with bypass and baffle design, the pipeline structure is optimized to achieve energy savings.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces the consumption of electrical and thermal energy, ensures that the equipment can quickly resume normal operation in standby mode, reduces energy waste, and improves the efficiency of equipment use.

Abstract

The invention relates to a container heat treatment plant, comprising: a conveying device (45) for containers (44); a treatment zone (1, 15, 17, 32-43) provided with a spraying device (2, 17, 18, 58-69) for applying a treatment medium to the container (44); a liquid bath (4, 19, 20, 46-57) for collecting and providing a treatment medium; connecting pipelines (6, 21 and 22) are arranged between the liquid pool and the spraying device; and pumps (7, 23 and 24) are arranged in the connecting pipelines. Temperature sensors (8, 25, 26, 84) are arranged below the liquid level of the treatment medium in the liquid bath. The container heat treatment plant comprises a control device (9) configured to operate the pump at a rated power during normal operation of the treatment zone in order to apply the treatment medium by the spray device, and to disable the pump or operate the pump at a reduced rated power during standby operation of the treatment zone in order to disable the spray device in order to apply the treatment medium. The invention further relates to a method for adjusting a container heat treatment plant.
